IPEN members conduct scientific studies and produce original research on threats from POPs, advocating for changes to national policies toward ending POPs contamination in their countries.
National research by IPEN members
POPs: Country-based Reports
For more than two decades, IPEN members have researched POPs pollution in their countries, often providing the only country-based data of its kind.
Eliminating PCBs
To promote an end to uses of PCBs and safer disposal methods, IPEN Participating Organizations conducted research on PCBs in their countries.
POPs Contaminating Food: Egg Reports
By sampling free-range chicken eggs near sites of POPs contamination, including incinerators and waste dumps, IPEN members have documented contamination of the environment and the food chain from these toxic chemicals.
Dioxin and POPs Hotspots
IPEN members have conducted studies on the legacy of POPs production and use and on highly toxic dioxins produced by incineration and other industries.
